TEXAS: King of the Wildcatters

If it were possible to cap the human ego like a gas well, and to pipe
off its more volatile byproducts as fuel, Houston's multi-millionaire
wildcatter Glenn McCarthy could heat a city the size of Omaha with no
help at all. Whether he would allow his rampant psyche to be dedicated
completely to so prosaic a project, however, is doubtfulseveral
million cubic feet would undoubtedly be diverted to a McCarthy Memorial
Beacon which would nightly cast its glare as far west as El Paso.
